Is it true that Iranian security forces killed large numbers of protesters during demonstrations in January 2026?
Unclear. Several sources report that large numbers of protesters were killed during the December 2025–January 2026 Iranian protests, with HRANA counting 2,403 confirmed protester deaths and other estimates far higher. However, the retrieved items do not fully settle that Iranian security forces were responsible for killing large numbers of protesters.
